BECAUSE I FEED HIM.
Beside me lived a family who called themselves my friends— - lhe son, the wife, the husband—and the dog. . Whene'er my home lift went amiss, these neighbours made amends; We grew as thick as raindrops ,in a fog. But now I gnze upon the hostile windows of their home; The son, the wife, the husband pass me x by For Fortune is a fickle jade and ever wont to roam— And favours given must be returned — or die. So ended friendship's too rank growth with neighbours by my side; The lesson I will keep in memory's log: But one of all that famiy with me is still allied— , And that's the poor old mongrel of a dog! —Ruth' Bassett. | Judge.
